Toronto'sSummerWorks Festivalshows off all kinds of performances, including theatre, dance, music and film, from August 3 to 13. There are over 52 productions running at spaces all over the city, including one in your own home.

Here are my picks for must-see shows at this year's SummerWorks Festival.

Are We Not Horses - The Sci-Fi Summer Musical

A group of robotic horses search for work in this musical based on Rock Plaza Central's conceptual albumAre We Not Horses. Unlike other shows in the festival, this one will play only on August 11 at the Factory Theatre.

You're going to have to commit 24 hours to this experiential work from DopoLavoro Teatrale's (DLT) Daniele Bartolini, Rory de Brouwer and Danya Buonastella. Specific details about this piece are sparse, but you watch episode 1 (there are two episodes) in the comfort of your own home.

Bodies of Water
